Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

Which polyatomic ion is found in the compound represented by the formula NaHCO3?
stiv31 [10]

Answer: The correct option is 2.

Explanation: Polyatomic ions are defined as the ions in which two or more elements are covalently bonded to act as a single unit. They always carry some charge.

Examples of polyatomic ions are: OH^- known as hydroxide ion, SO_4^{2-} known as sulfate ion

We are given a compound NaHCO_3 having 2 ions which are Na^+ and HCO_3^-. these ions are named as sodium ions and hydrogen carbonate ions.

Therefore, the correct option is 2.

Explain how the valence electrons are related to the element's period.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The number of valence electrons in an atom is reflected by its position in the periodic table of the elements (see the periodic table in the Figure below). Across each row, or period, of the periodic table, the number of valence electrons in groups 1–2 and 13–18 increases by one from one element to the next
